UK iTunes Store (slowly) welcomes HD TV shows

TV shows are slowly making their way onto the iTunes Store UK, some readers have noticed. With no fanfare (yet), Apple is quietly populating the UK's TV section with the same type of high-definition videos that can be found on the US store, though it looks as if this process is ongoing and that there's not a lot to choose from as of yet.

First brought to our attention by AppleInsider, Lost appears to be the only show that is available in HD in the UK right now. The shows are selling for �2.49 per episode and �41.99 for a season pass. At today's conversion rates, that's roughly US$3.50 per episode and US$59.16 for a season pass--a slight premium over what we pay here in the US.

We're sure more will be added to the UK store in the coming hours and days, so keep a look out and let us know in the comments if you see anything interesting pop up.
